Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

"This..." Wang, the steward, felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He was just a lowly steward and couldn't and didn't dare to accept the command of the goddess.

Just then...

Buzz...

Ripples appeared in the void, accompanied by an ancient and desolate aura. Desolate Heaven, the master of the Divine Sect, slowly emerged. His burly figure was like a black hole, encompassing all the brightness in the world.

"Greetings, Master." Luo Xinglan and Wang, the steward, bowed respectfully.

"Xinglan, don't act impulsively," Desolate Heaven said, looking at Luo Xinglan with a complex tone and a hint of anger.

He had always been very satisfied with Luo Xinglan and had high hopes for her. He had spared no effort in grooming her as his successor.

Luo Xinglan had not disappointed him. In recent years, she had excelled in both her cultivation and the management of the Divine Sect. In some aspects, she even outperformed most of the elders.

He entrusted most of the affairs of the Divine Sect to her, while he focused on his own cultivation, attempting to break through to the next level.

But what surprised him was that the usually calm and composed Luo Xinglan had become impulsive and confused whenever she encountered anything related to Jiang Xuan in recent days.

To be honest, he was filled with worry.

Luo Xinglan, the goddess of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, was a genius with boundless potential. She was destined to become a god and even challenge the name of immortality. He couldn't believe that she would really fall into a romantic relationship with Jiang Xuan and become his... lackey?

Luo Xinglan lowered her eyes slightly, naturally sensing her master's concerns and worries. However, she couldn't openly explain the reason. If she directly said that Jiang Xuan would become an extremely powerful figure in the future, her master would definitely not believe it.

After all, the concept of reincarnation was too unbelievable.

Luo Xinglan pondered for a moment and then calmly said, "Please trust me, Master. Everything I do is for the future of our Desolate Heaven Divine Sect."

"Making a good impression on Jiang Xuan is beneficial to our Divine Sect and harmless!"

Desolate Heaven was taken aback for a moment. After a brief silence, he asked in a deep voice, "I need a reason."

Luo Xinglan shook her head slowly and said, "I apologize, Master, but I can't reveal the reason for now."

One reason was that her master wouldn't believe it even if she said it. The other reason was... she was worried that revealing it would cause disturbances in time and space, altering the course of her past life. Her precious memories that were still sealed would lose their effect, and her reliance would greatly weaken.

In her past life, she had reached the level of a true god and had a preliminary understanding of causality. She knew the horror of the "butterfly effect."

Desolate Heaven stared at Luo Xinglan, his eyes gradually deepening. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded slightly and said, "I will allow you to be willful this once."

"But remember one thing... the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect is your foundation. I, the elders, and even the ancestors have high hopes for you and care for you deeply. Don't let everyone down."

A warm feeling surged in Luo Xinglan's heart as she nodded earnestly. "Rest assured, Master. Xinglan will never forget!"

It was precisely because of the Divine Sect's love and care for her that she had resolutely stood by the Divine Sect in her past life until the last drop of blood was shed.

And it was the same in this life!

She had taken the initiative to form a marriage alliance with Jiang Xuan, and now she was supporting Jiang Xuan in the name of the Divine Sect. All of this was for the future of the Divine Sect, in the hope that when the great calamity of the Divine Sect arrived, Jiang Xuan would lend a helping hand.

Desolate Heaven nodded and then looked at Wang, the steward, instructing, "Wang, do as the goddess said."

"Yes!" Wang, the steward, replied respectfully.

Soon, the warning from the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect spread throughout the entire Eastern Divine Continent, causing a great uproar.

Many sects and countless powerful individuals were filled with doubts and astonishment... What on earth was the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect doing?

Come on!

Your goddess took the initiative to form a marriage alliance with the Jiang family's Jiang Xuan, only to be harshly rejected and slapped in the face. It would have been fine if you didn't retaliate, but now you're actively protecting Jiang Xuan?

Even if it means angering seventy percent of the top powers in the Eastern Divine Continent?

What benefit does it bring to your Desolate Heaven Divine Sect?

As a top dominant force, are you really going to please the Jiang family so servilely?

...Isn't this being cheap!

Soon, this matter spread throughout the entire Celestial Wonders Realm.

For a while, not only the Eastern Divine Continent and the Southern Divine Continent, but even the other major divine continents were left speechless by the manipulation of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect.

However, the status of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect was still there. As an existence that almost dominated the Southern Divine Continent, no one could ignore their voice. Once they truly angered the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, their wrath would be unleashed. Even the Yin Yang Sacred Land would have to consider it.

Therefore, a few days later.

Except for the Pure Yang Sword Palace, the Heavenly Execution Hall, the Immortal Zhao Family, and the Jiang family, who had long accumulated deep enmity with each other, all the other forces chose to compromise and cancel the bounty.

Jiang Xuan was not their main target to begin with, and the so-called bounty was just a way to confuse the Jiang family and give them a better chance to find the two hidden geniuses.

Now that the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect insisted on protecting Jiang Xuan, they just went along with it. There was no loss for them.

In this way, the Eastern Divine Continent was stirred up by Jiang Xuan and gradually calmed down in this dramatic manner.

On the other side.

In the borderlands of the Eastern Divine Continent, at Azure Sun Gate.

"By the order of the young clan leader, two Dao-level inheritances are sent to Miss Nangong." A strong member of the Jiang family respectfully handed a storage ring to Nangong Mingyue.

The Master of Azure Sun Gate, Bei Qing, stood on the side, his expression changing, showing both shock and awe.

Two Dao-level inheritances!

It should be known that even among the top powers, Dao-level inheritances are extremely precious. Only the most outstanding individuals have the qualifications to cultivate them.

And among the top forces, Dao-level inheritances are already the most core inheritances.

Bei Qing knew his own situation. Although Azure Sun Gate barely made it into the top forces, their foundation was very shallow. They were even inferior to many second-rate forces that had inherited for thousands of years. For example, Azure Sun Gate only had three Dao-level inheritances in total.

Jiang Xuan, the young lord... oh no, now the young clan leader Jiang Xuan, actually made such a generous move, directly giving away two Dao-level inheritances!

From this, it could be seen that Jiang Xuan held a crucial position in the Jiang family.

After all, ordinary people didn't have the ability to give away two Dao-level inheritances.

Even if they did, the elders of the clan would not allow it.

As for Nangong Mingyue, the person involved, she stood still, completely stunned, as she looked at the ring handed to her. How could she not know what two Dao-level inheritances meant?

Her heart surged, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but glisten.

Clutching the ring tightly, Nangong Mingyue didn't say anything. She turned around and returned to her training ground, continuing her cultivation.

Recently, news of the bounties on Jiang Xuan and the many geniuses hunting him had spread throughout the Eastern Divine Continent. Although she had been cultivating in Azure Sun Gate all this time, she had also heard some rumors.

However, her cultivation level was still weak, and she couldn't provide any help.

She was now eager to improve her strength and help Jiang Xuan, even if it was just to enter the world and kill a few geniuses who wanted to hunt Jiang Xuan.

After personally seeing off the strong members of the Jiang family, Bei Qing looked at Nangong Mingyue's training ground and pondered for a long time. Jiang Xuan was loyal and valued Nangong Mingyue greatly. This was not only Nangong Mingyue's blessing, but also an opportunity for Azure Sun Gate.

After all, under normal circumstances, Azure Sun Gate would never have a chance to establish a connection with the Jiang family in their lifetime.

"I must quickly appoint Nangong Mingyue as the young gate master!" A determined light flashed in Bei Qing's eyes as he gradually solidified his thoughts.

This was the only way for Azure Sun Gate to climb up to Jiang Xuan.

"Besides... I need to go out and find some heavenly treasures to please my disciple." Bei Qing muttered to himself, then called for the Flame Crow and flew out of Azure Sun Gate.
